Interview
Circa 3 Tage nachdem ich meine Bewerbung abgeschickt habe wurde ich per Mail dazu aufgefordert einen Online-Test zu machen. Dabei ging es primär um quantitative Fähigkeiten: Kopfrechnen, Prozentrechnung, Graphen verstehen etc.
Nach Absolvierung des Tests wurde ich zum Interview vor Ort eingeladen.
Insgesamt waren es 2 Interviews. Für jedes war ein Thema im Voraus zu bearbeiten : Warum SKP und eine clevere Marketingstrategie.
In beiden Interviews gab es auch persönliche Fragen und Fragen bezüglich bisheriger Arbeitserfahrung und Excel Kenntnisse.
Außerdem bekam ich jeweils einen Case.
1. Case: Profitabilität & Pricing im Bereich Consumer Goods
2. Case Preiselastizität bei Einführung eines neuen Autos
Beide Gespräche waren äußerst angenehm.
